PROGRAM OVERVIEW
For 30 years Camp Victory has been creating residential
healing camps for children from rural western Washington who
are survivors of sexual abuse. We are 125+ volunteers strong,
working together with donors to make magic for kids ages 5-21
from Pacific, Grays Harbor, and Mason Counties by providing
overnight camps, special events, and therapy.
WE TELL CHILDREN:
• What happened to you was not your fault
• You are not alone
Mission Statement:
Provide residential healing camps,
supportive activities, and services
for child and teen survivors of
sexual abuse living in rural
counties in western Washington
State.
• We believe you
• You are brave and strong
PURPOSES
